Song Cage
Song Cage brings chord, melody, lyric, and music-theory tools together on one songwriting canvas. Its chord palette includes diatonic and borrowed chords, secondary dominants, extensions, and modulation routes, then ranks suggestions against a melody and neighboring chords. The lyric workspace offers rhyme, synonym, semantic, and verb/noun suggestions. The free web plan supports one song and includes playback, audio recording, and song-file export. A Song Cage licence costs $99.00 one-time and adds unlimited songs, PDF chord sheets, MIDI export, Mac and Windows desktop apps, an AU/VST3 plugin, phone captures in an Ideas inbox, collaborators, and web/desktop sync. The desktop app works offline on macOS 12 or later with Apple Silicon or Intel, and Windows 10 or later on 64-bit x64. The free iPhone and Android app captures voice memos, lyrics, and chord ideas offline without an account, but lacks the full editor, timeline, export, and DAW. The plugin streams chord and melody MIDI in sync with DAW transport and saves songs in the DAW project. Song Cage says it does not use AI to write songs; chord suggestions use music-theory rules and word tools use dictionary lookups.
